Dan BallardI'd like the dudes on this international women's day, even those posting about it, to do a quick look around of their lives, take stock. Are there a lot of women in your circles and spaces? If not, now might be a great time to reflect on that and start asking questions and thinking about changes you could make to improve that.
I've been extraordinarily privileged and lucky to have stumbled off some of the common paths earlier in life and start on a path of being worthy of having amazing women in my life. To say my life would be diminished with out all the amazing women in my life is an understatement, my life would be nothing.

Nick 'The Viking'Amazing women have made me who I am.
Mom, I didn't get enough time with you.
Really, I've wished for more time with those amazing women.

Well, yes, not knowing many women *could* be due to misogyny. But it also could be due to having typically male interests and/or not getting out much.
It's in many cases impossible to tell someone's gender/sex online.

@light I have plenty of interest that some might categorize as "typically male" including tech, even specializing deeper into cryptography, p2p, and decentralization tech, all kinds of gaming, also politics into socialism and anarchism. These interests of mine I've found are full of women, and ones who excel beyond me and I'm lucky to learn from.
It's true and even good you can't tell online, that's even good. Just keep an open mind. When I've worried a topic or interest of mine is feeling overly male weighted sometimes as an exercise I'll go out of my way to look for other voices in the space. Events like today can be great for that as many folks may be sharing some. Good day to find new voices to follow! Good luck to us both! 💜
Andrew Deacon@dan_ballard I hada wonderful partner who died from aggressive cancer 3 years ago. I nursed her to near the end.At 76 making new friends is hard at the best of times-it still is not a best time. Can I have a pass please?
@aadeacon I'm not here to police any one, hand out points or demerits, all I asked on this international womens day was men folk reflect. If you've done that, then thanks! No passes or condemnations to be dispensed. I'm no authority.
Did you feel my post was aggressive or attacking? that wasn't the intent and I thought I made the language fairly chill and just a low key request for thinking about the topic of the day.
datarama@dan_ballard you... have circles and spaces?
